Your favourite roads?

[sammus]

Hey guys and girls,

I'm interested in seeing what all your favourite roads to drive through are.

GOR and the dandenongs are pretty obvious places.

I like Yarra Bend Park, which i came across yesterday much to my delight

Alexandra Avenue is alright too

Euroa-Merton rd for us country lads, Tolmie-Whitfield rd is great, only been there in the work van, have always meant to go back, it would easily rival the great ocean rd for bends, without the traffic. The black spur heading out of Melbourne is another, where do you stop?

rrrage: is the yarra bend Park the one near chandler exist of eastern freeway? the one where you have an awesome view of the city at the top of the hill? Be very careful as their is sometimes a big police presence around their as those roads were made for racing!! my bro got picked up on his motorbike scraping his knee around a corner he was that low.

great bit of road though!

I agree with the dandenongs, not bad up past marysville aswell. Some roads around vineyards of mornington peninsula are very good aswell, near arthurs seat chairlift and sh*t.

Enjoy.

depends what your classing them as favourites for i think

[sammus]

yup that's the one. there were a group of bikers there too.

i talked to my uncle about it today. he told me how when he was younger he'd go there with his friends at midnight and have a hoon... but now the speed limit is 50 and the cops patrol it. ahwell.

[Paradizzle]

Still definately worth a hoon dude. good sideways corners, providing road is not that busy. Alot of the time its pretty good and u can go nuts, but wen u least expect it the boyz in blue r their to bend u over. Good place to test any suspension set up.

Eltham twisties are good.

Black spur is better.

Mt Dandenong tourist road has potential to be a nice drive but I avoid it where possible because the road is in such poor condition.

Fully sick knox laps lol

greg: where abouts in eltham are you talking about??

I love the kinglake/whittlesea road, but becareful of the black ice in winter... kangaroo ground panton hill is fun too, used to be 100k limit around there but now it's 80. Going out to warrandyte from research, or kangaroo ground has some fun twisties also.

[NS2500]

Black spur is lots of fun, but not when it's damp or cold. We regularly head up to Marysville for lunch - it's just over an hour from the NE suburbs.

Eltham to Yarra Glen is nice.

[saff_cossie]

Just a thought but isnt this going to show all the decent roads that we use to anyone, potentially Police and speed Cameras?

yeah, i do that run and surrounding areas a bit, very nice drive... some of the roads, cant remember what one exactly, have been resurfaced lately

[adznight]

Mountain Hwy and and Mt. Dandenong Tourist Rd (off Canturbury Rd) both heading up the mountain at about 3am on a nice crisp night, nothing beats an uphill fang

[allblitz]

Gotta love the drive from Colac to the G.O.R - scenery and bends are uncomparable.

[Snowman]

There's a 4km odd stretch of road that loops back on itself down Phillip Island way that's my fav bit of road.

Never any worries about cops there either.

thats kangaroo ground - st andrews rd. Get to drive on it twice a day

[R31Nismoid]

is that the "super" twisty one, with the 20-30km/h corners... and only enough time to get to around 60km/h before you hit the next one?

[chubbs]

The road from Kinglake to St Andrews is a big fave, I think that's the one you're talking about Ash.

driving to portsea is always good, long as you dont take the scenic route.
